Application led April 13, 1922. i `aerial No. 552,259.

t t To all who/niJ it moyooacem- Be it known thatl, `JOHN F. MGNuson,

a citizenof theI United States,V and resident:` oi.y San Jose, inthe county otv Santa Clara and State ofCalifornimhave invented cer- .y 4tain new and useful Improvements vin a.

Pattern Templet, ofwhich-thefollowing is a specification. y 1 i Y v `It .is `thefobject (1i-myv invention to provide a templet for laying out ay pattern for ygarments such as coats, vests, trousers, etc.,

' and parts ofy garments such as sleeves, hoods l or capes.

It is `a particularhobjectwof my invention to providea templet -of-thecharacter indiv catedftha't may be extendedfor use in' laying out patternsfor garments of varying size, or which maybe used directly in markingthe cloth. .v i

Inv the drawing vFigure l :shows a plan view of the templet arranged to ymarkout ofone portion of La coat. y l.

Figure 2 is a planyview `of the templet arrangedy to mark outta `paper pattern of a paperv pattern `anotherportion of; acoat. zv

Referring more Vparticularly lto the drawing I show at `1--f2-3f three measuresA `j marked oi in inches andractions thereof and held in parallel relatiomto each other y by ymeansof/a` member 4 pivoted to strip 2 at 5. To eachend rof member 4 is a shorter member 6-7 ypivotally connected thereto as well as to strips-.1 3 atpoints 8 9 respectively as shown. The several pivotal points 5-8f9 all being spaced upon the central line of the `measures 1-2-3 y as shown.

, `res ectively vas shown.

trip 2 has two equally longgrooves 16-17 spacedl from the central point V5y in which are slidably and pivotally mounted members 18-19 having their outer ends pivotally connected at points 20-21 to the free ends of members `12--13 as shown. Y The central points of members18-19 being ivctally connected to the member 4. at omts gth of a. the

'the outer edges of said members. points A-B a suitable lapel is marked iu members 6-7-7-12-13--18-719 being equal to yhalf the length of' 1ne1nber4, ythe whole Y going to make up a set of lazy tongs which hold strips 1-2-3 in parallel relation to eachother at 'all times.

A`Pivotally mounted upon one end of strip 3 is a fourth strip or measure 3a` which isas shown. l

y Mounted upon graduated in inches and fractions thereof strips l by tacksy 28 are shown't-wo cardboardpatternsfas 24-25-,-

strip 2 having the Vpattern 26 while strip 3 hasfpattern" 27 as shown. These patternsbeing held in'place bythe thumb vtacks 28 stuck into the under surface of the wooden strips can be taken ,cti and rearranged or others of diiferent design placedthereon at will, the sizes and location of each dependingupon the cut` and size of the garment being markedout. y v

In using thev pattern yfor marking out the v outlinesl on paper of the front yandside portion of one-half ofafcoat the-paper is laid I out as indicated in dotted lines'jat 29 and the pattern superimposed thereon..v

The person to be fitted is iirst measured froml the neck downthe back to ldetermine the length ofthe coatto be made; This L It is only necessary to now mark around Between as shown in dotted lines, the portion C being laid 01T by moving the measure 3aL into the position 3b indicated in dotted lines and theportion D being drawn in free hand. The portion E of the arm hole is also drawn in 'free hand as is also the portion F and G.

Another paper 30 is now placed in position and the pattern laid thereon with member 27 in the position shown and measures 2 and 3 spaced the proper distance by measure 3. 'Member 27 is now Vtraced around to the point where the line is continued on `the proper curve to' point I on the inner side of measure 2. Line J is now drawn in straight across to the inner edge of measure 3 and thence carried upward a distance and thence on a curve oiit- Wardly to a given point as K on the outer edge of measure 3 and thence to the point L,

Cloth cut to the tWo paper patterns described form one-half of a coat. It is clear of course that the extensible pattern may be used directly on the cloth when desired and may be varied in detail for use in cuttingr out many diiferent kinds of garments or parts Iof the same.`

It is clear from the above disclosure that the device is highly ei'cient for the Work for which itis designed, and 'that it obviates the necessity of 'using the square now commonly used by tailors in cuttng out patterns and greatly reduces the time and labor of doing' 'that class of Work.

Itis to be understood,` of course, that Whilel I have herein. 'shown and described one particuiar embodiment of my invention being pivotally connected to each other at one end and slida-bly connected to one of said measures at its other end.

2. A `device of the character indicated comprising three parallelly arranged measures, an arm pivotally mounted' at its center to the center measure, an arm pivotally mountedon each outer measure and to the adjacent end-of said-first arm, a pair of arms pivotally and slidably connected to One outer `measure and to the center measure and pivotaliy connected to each other at their inner ends` one of said arms being pivotally connected at its center to said lfirst mentioned arm and the other of 'said arms being'pivotally connected at its center lto the adjacent second mentioned arm, and a second pair' of arms directed oppositely to said first pair-of arms and pivotally and slidably connected to said center measure and the other outer .measure and pivotally connected to each other at their inner ends, oneI of said last mentioned pair of arms being pivotally lconnected at its center to said rst mentioned arm, and the other being pivotally 'connected at its center to the adjacent second arm.

3. A device of the character indicated including a central measure', a measure arf ranged on each side thereof in parallel relation thereto, two, sets of lazy tongs mounted on said central measure to extend in opposite directions therefrom, one leg of each set being slidably mounted in said center measure,v and one leg of each set being a unitary part of' the corresponding leg of the other set and crossing said center measure and pivoted thereon, one outer leg of each set being pivotally mounted upon an outer measure, and the other outer leg of each set bei-ng pivotally yand 'slidably mounted upon the adjacentl outer measure whereby to maintain all the measuresin parallel rela` trento each other.
